H.R.7099

PATH to Education Act Promoting Advancement Through Transit Help to Education Act

Introduced·1/15/26

Promotes access to education by providing public transit grants to eligible institutions and Head Start programs.

The PATH to Education Act aims to enhance access to education by offering public transit grants. These grants support eligible institutions, including community colleges and minority-serving institutions, and center-based Head Start programs. Eligible recipients can use the grants to improve transit services, such as adding bus or rail stops, adjusting routes, and increasing service frequency. The act prioritizes institutions where more than 25% of students receive a Federal Pell Grant. Funding for these grants is set aside annually from fiscal year 2027 to 2031.
